Title. I know Pre-Season used to be annoying because it felt too long but with the massive season 2024 I really feel like pre-season should not have been PBE only and the solution imho would have been 1 month on PBE while live stays on Season, and then 1 month of Pre-Season on live.
I really feel like playertesting for balancing on PBE will never be the same and bring the same results as testing it live, plus this will just mean a lot of people will start ranked next year completly “blind” giving an advantage to those who played on PBE.
Adding to all that I came back recently and my honor level reset and I don’t think I can reach level 3 by the end of the year ;-; Never created a PBE account when I used to play more
Going straight to live would be terrible
